RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Multiple Group 1-winning New Zealander CHASE A DREAM (6) has recently joined the Jason Grimson barn and appears here for his first-up Aussie assignment. His last couple of starts back home have just been fair, but they have been in strong company and this is a very suitable race to open his account on our shores if you consider he ran fourth, beaten just a handful of metres, to Kingman in the Group 1 Christian Cullen 4YO Classic in November last year. While he’s a short-priced favourite to score here, I’m leaning the way of veteran millionaire MACH DAN (7) who I think can lead this event. He was very brave doing a power of work in the chair when third to Smoken Ace last weekend at Kilmore and is always very hard to run down when he finds the top. They look the main chances, with the handy OPERATIVE LINE (5) and HOT DEAL (8) favoured to fill the third and fourth placings. BACK: MACH DAN (7) – 2 units (win) For all your harness form in one place go to goodform.thetrots.com.au  ** A betting unit is typically a percentage of the total bankroll or the amount of money you are willing to risk on a particular bet – for example 1 unit is 10% of your bankroll, therefore a $100 bankroll 1 unit equals $10 Chances are you’re about to lose. For free and confidential support call 1800 858 858 or visit
